Rowing technique - how to solve the round low back (pain) issue (exercises included)

[@ChristopherPinkerton]

Chris from USA-thx so much for your video-I’ve been working on a Concept 2 for a little over a year ( 71 with a 8 level spinal fusion 6 years ago); rowing provides me the aerobic and full body workout that I can no longer get on a treadmill or bike riding hills due to knee problems. Since I have incorporated some lifting exercises (squats, deadlifts and seated machine rowing) seems my 30 minute lengths just keep improving; now, with your sage advice on hip flexibility I hope to “crush” my PR of 6612 meters in 30 min.

all the best for your attempt

An excellent video with sowed very important content. I very much agree with your analysis. HOWEVER, I also believe the epidemic of lower back pain is related to the fad for people to pause at the finish. This leaves their weight on their seat. When they do rock over they generally fail to get their weight onto the ischium, because they lack the momentum of the hands going AROUND the back turn, and they sometimes find it too much effort to pull themselves over their hips. As a consequence, they come into the catch with a rounded lower back.

I think people need to know that on a good morning, on the way up, don't lift the shoulders. Push the pelvis through instead. Great, great video!

[@AramTraining]

Thank you for pointing this out Carol!

Hi Aram! I m beginner master rower and medical doctor . your great videos have been an important guide in this period. i struggle to solve rounding my low back. I think overreaching to gain more sweep distance cause bending low back too.

[@AramTraining]

Thank you for your feedback Ekin! Yes, over reaching at the catch is a common factor. It is better to have a good body position for direct force transfer from feet to hands than a long reach.

Thank you. You showed us the pelvic Tilt... Did you say that we need to tilt the pelvis to straighten the back before we do these exercises and or row, so that we dont exercise or row with a rounded back? Cheers

[@MGROWING]

Very useful

[@ebelsilva5691]

All these moves are difficult to be done if one have a tight psoas muscle. Crucial component for the pelvis tilting forward. Ebel Silva

Hi, Aram! Really good suggestions as I attempt to climb out of the deconditioning hole created by Long Covid. Where is the mobilization video you mentioned?? Thanks! 👍

Awesome. Please find the link here kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoHNpKpqapyFn8k

This is literally why i ended up with 2 herniated disc - L4-5 and l5-S1. I was anatomically unable to lift my lower back up while im in the boat sitting position. I wish i could've seen this video earlier.

[@AramTraining]

you are not alone. this is why I decided to become a coach and develop the Biorower

hey! Wonder if you have some advice about shoulder and arm tightness. My issues with rowing are that i have tight hamstrings, so i can't forward fold very well. I'm aware of the back risk so i don't curve it at all - but now i just sit up SUPER straight in the boat (backward bends are good though). And i put my oars in with super tight shoulders, and bent arms. My coach said it looked like I'm kind of riding a horse : ' ) Anyway. Is this arm stuff related to my hamstrings being inflexible? Would love to get your take on this. - cheers from europe

[@AramTraining]

Would it be more effective to stretch your hamstrings after every training session? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaGwmKlthquJbJosi=ZfpvoMx74A_eH08E
